The soap continues, within a day my T-key started sending the signal for
Hiragana-Katana. I just found out that the service center flashed an old
version of the BIOS 56cn38ww, while 56cn43ww is the newest. I am really
unhappy with this situation.

Conclusion: the problem is resolved by flashing the BIOS with any
version. The problem occurs afaik (at least) with 56cn38ww.

It's almost like the bug reprograms the keyboard. I have a strong
feeling that it is linked to switching between X and a virtual terminal
(in text mode). I think the problem started when I switched from a text
terminal (where I ran apt-get as super-user) to X where I was logged in
in Gnome. I think somehow pressing ctrl+alt+fn+F2 (switch to text
terminal 2) or ctrl+alt+fn+F7 triggered the bug to mess up the T-key. (I
might have accidentally pressed shift as well, or maybe missed an alt or
ctrl once, it's surprisingly hard to press the right keys+fn if one's
used to doing it on muscle memory alone.) This T-key-thing happened to
me twice now, and the first time I remember having the same feeling
about it.
